Let’s get right to it and see how our expert administrators handle DirectAdmin to DirectAdmin migration.

Step 1 :

On the new server, we must first install DirectAdmin. Request a free temporary migration licence to acquire the licences as well as support.

Purchase a licence at your own expense and cancel it after the migration is complete to acquire the licences without support.

Apply a request for the removal of a new licence after the migration is complete, and then insert the new IP address into your original licence. You’ll be able to do it later in your Client Account Area.

Step 2 :

You must add new IPs to the new server in the same way that you added new IPs to the previous server.

Then, keep an eye on which IPs are matching and make a plan.

Then, on the new server, go to Admin Panel -> IP Manager and add up all the IPs.

You can alter the IP assignment when transferring.

Step 3 :

On the new system, you will have to go through DA in the same way as you did on the old system for the admin/Reseller account.

If the Reseller/Admin files were restored at this time, their account should be set up as a “user” account..

That is why they must first create an account.

After you’ve created each Admin/Reseller, go to Admin Panel -> IP Manager and assign each one the IPs they’ll need.

Step 4 :

Return to the old server, log in as Admin/Reseller of (each of them), then navigate to their Reseller Panel, followed by Manage User Backups. Select all accounts and create local backups of them.

It is preferable to create a local backup before transferring the files to the new computer. Select all accounts and create local backups.

Place the backup files in the above-mentioned space while uploading them to the new server.

Make sure your firewalls are configured correctly. To upload to the same Reseller, use the FTP function.

Place the backup files in /home/reseller/user-backups.

Place the backup files in the above-mentioned space while uploading them to the new server.

Ascertain that the admin/reseller is the owner of the user-backups directory, and that the backup files in the directory are chmod 755.

The newest option for Reseller Level Backups will be Admin Level -> Admin Backups/Transfer. Then there’s the matter of restoring the Admins and Resellers.

Step 5 :

For Admin/Reseller, you must now take on the new server (for each of them).

To begin, log in and navigate to Reseller Panel, then Manage User Backups. Restore all of the accounts on the list.

If you’re allocating separate users to different IP addresses, for example, perform one restoration per IP along with any user(s) you’re restoring.

If you’re restoring one person to his own shared IP, on the other hand, you’ll need to do so without any other users.

Repeat the restoration process until the process is complete.

Step 6 :

Finally, Restore the Process for the Reseller level configuration that will be copied manually.

Copy the content of the Reseller’s packages for copying

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/reseller/packages/*

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/reseller/packages. list and the identical settings to the new server.

The reseller must now re-configure any nameserver settings.

The reseller must now re-configure any nameserver settings.
